Yep. Computers are a big part of digital audio. It's important as a
vertical market that a computer excel at digital audio supporting all
the latest tendencies in the recording industry. Furthermore, this has
enough crossover into consumer territory and webcentric computing that
it is foolish to ignore what it means to the success of a platform.

Well, yes and no. I've seen a few inferences to some connection between
the two here in this thread. Like the state of the Amiga somehow can
justify another technology... That misses the mark. It's where one goes
in an argument when they have nothing. But a misplaced sense of justice.
Like, wow, better join some terrorist organization because there's a
conspiracy that is destroying all the good things, bwaahha-hoo-hoo-hoo
<blubber sniff>.
There is no defending the Amiga against the PC. Or the turntable against
the CD player. The defensive mindset would better be spent actually
learning to understand the technology or contributing to it instead of
inane arguments aka advocacy. It becomes an execise in making excuses
and ignoring any facts that don't fit, which is bad for the future of
the platform, and for the true appreciation of music.
